Sortly makes it easy to move items from one location to another, whether you prefer to move them manually or by scanning a barcode or QR code. You can move items directly within the Sortly web or mobile app, or use Quick Actions to scan an item’s label and move it instantly.
If your items have existing barcodes or QR codes, simply scan them to begin the move. You can also generate custom labels using Sortly, or move items manually without using a scanner. Both methods allow you to quickly update an item's location and keep your inventory organized and accurate.
